Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum moved in after a harrowing 5-week stay in hospital! My sister and I were beside ourselves with worry when hospital said she needed to go in a nursing home. We looked around a few homes but this one (Safe Harbour) stuck out a mile, friendly, caring, efficient, lovely bright rooms. Mum moved in early
Sept and I have been so happy with how well she settled in. Safe Harbour is a homely place with staff who really care. I feel supported too. Mum is everything to me and I feel I can trust Safe Harbour with her completely!

The staff are very friendly to both residents and visitors. The atmosphere is warm and pleasant. The staff go our of their way to talk to the residents. When I have visited I have taken part in dancing, singing and watched group talking.
The wall decorations are interesting, the outdoor courtyard is
a good space. The doors on the rooms give a good impression of home.

Myself and the family are very happy with the service my mum receives in the care home. The care is excellent and the staff are very supportive and caring. My mum has settled and we have peace of mind knowing she is safe when we are not there. She is always treated with dignity and her appearance is
always acceptable. I would recommend Safe Harbour to family and friends.

I have found Safe Harbour to be a very pleasant care home. Staff have been excellent in caring for my mother and as far as I have seen with every other person in there. Nothing is too much for the staff. Also they are very helpful and courteous with visitors. As far as I can see the care and all aspects
of a care home is superb here.

This home was put in special measures and due to close those time last year. I decided to support the owners and staff and leave my mum at the home because I believed that she was loved and cared for there. Since then the home has improved within, much warmer and welcoming - a home from home. Staff
are always loving and caring, and know the ways and needs of each individual. Nothing but praise for them and now I know I was right to keep mum there.

Under the new ownership and management Safe Harbour has become an excellent care home with hard working dedicated staff. There is a programme of varied entertainment, music being an important feature but including visits from dogs and even tortoises. Birthdays are celebrated and outings arranged when
appropriate for the individual resident. There is close co-operation with doctors, chiropractors etc. and residents are encouraged to dress well with hair attended to etc. I am grateful to all the staff for the care my husband is receiving.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.854)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.854) out of 10 for Safe Harbour Dementia Care Home Bebington is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.854 for Safe Harbour Dementia Care Home Bebington is calculated as follows: ( (153 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 178 Ratings = 4.854
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Safe Harbour Dementia Care Home Bebington is based on 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 47 registered maximum number of service users is 9.4, which has been reached with 15 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
